This was exactly the crazy, high-paced, twisty and unpredictable murder mystery I needed right now!! This entire things was so fast paced, and it just had plot twist after plot twist!! There was almost no point in the book where I expected what happened next! This whole book takes place over one night as six teens are stranded in a dead end road at night, where theyre surrounded by snipers, and forced to figure out which one of them has the secret worth killing for. Holly Jackson really knows how to ramp up the tension and the suspense! I don’t think I loved this as much as “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” series, because I liked the characters a lot more in that one. However, this was still an amazing and unpredictable stand alone murder mystery!
